17x8 front and 17x9 rear 34 offset all around. 225 fronts and 265 rear.

 

flushness <3

wow, beautiful cars. A lot of people seem to be running 8" and 9" wheels with 35 to 38 offset, and its looking hella flush!

My gold meshies, I believe they're the AR598, 3 piece wheels by American Racing are super flush on the front and somewhat on the rear. I don't know the offset though! and they now r.i.p. Intrax springs and tokicos blues (non adj.)
These pictures aren't exactly amazing to show my offset...




I'll be picking up some vert bbs meshies soon, and painting/powdercoating them bronze. I was wondering what spacers are needed to make the vert wheels absolutely flush?

 

im going to get some volk ce28 17x8.0 +33 w/ 225-45-17 in the front and 17x9.0 +35 w/ 255-40-17 in the rear

 

nice.....I still wish I would of done the LS1.

 

^^ you go right ahead.

i just need to mount my 225/45s on my 17x8 Super Advan wheels and the 255/40s on my 17x9 Advan rears

^_^

TR

 

Do they rub? Looks like they would rub pretty badly. What size?

 

even stock wheels + stock tires on several of the FC's Ive had have rubbed the front fender on one side or the other, at stock ride height.

Currently I'm running S5 TII wheels with 245-45-16's on all 4 corners with no rubbing issues. - except sometimes on the front fenders and I've noticed a rub mark on the spring too, so stock fenders + 245's = definatly a tight fit.

On mk3 supra wheels I've ran 255-60-16's at the track in the rear... big tire, no issues rubbing.

I don't have any pictures but last summer my "street" wheels were 17x8 momo's with 235-35-17's and they were "flush"... if I find the offset or pictures I'll gladly post them up.

 

dont worry guys. ill post my ish up soon enough. just keep this thread going long enough for me to get pics up and fail!

 

Lovin the Work SP1

 

I need to raise the fronts about 5mm or so.
It'll clear on full lock. No rubbing on fenders, wells.

fronts are rolled and pulled a few mm.
using rubber mallet / heat gun

225/45's all around 17x8.5 +10 , 17x9 +5

I want to get +25mm spacers all around -- on stock fenders.

 

I used 25mm spacers on mine, the rear is perfect but the front sticks out a bit will take pics tomorrow.

 

 

Thank you J.T.P!!!!!!! My favorite RX7s! BTW, my avatar is a pic of his old FC.

 

By far, those are some of the hottest FCs. I'm so addicted to beautiful FCs.

 

Definitely take some pictures for us! How much is the front sticking out, maybe 5 or 10 mm?

 

i'll take some pics of mine tomorrow.

btw, i fit 18X9.5+35 285/35R18 in the rear with no rubbing and no fender rolling but some probably won't believe me because everyone tells me you can't fit a 285 without some form of fender modification. trailing arms are stock still as well. you do however need good AAWS bushings or eliminators because it is a tight fit.

 

Heres mine. 17x8, 17x9; +35 offset. 225, 255 tire. Id probably go a little lower offset to get more flush... maybe a +25 ~ +32. With my 35, I had to roll the fenders in the front.

 

Can everyone post their sizes from now on?....

 

 

^ WOW. Very nice car man. Clean, sleek. Thats the same look i love.

 

nice pix JTP... =P

 

Great thread, lots of beautiful FC's !!! Flush look FTW

Anyone know of a good resource for finding the offset of stock rims? For example the Mustang GT's. I've got a couple ideas in mind, but I'd like to know if the offset would work w/ the FC

 

Same wheels I got EXACTLY...

Work Rezax
17x8 front +35 225/40
17x9 rear +35 265/40
Mine are black w/polished lip though

Nice BTW

 

I too have the same size Rezaxs (Mine didn't require fender rolling though)... I want to see what those wheels with a black center look like... any pictures?

 

about 5mm
